BALTIMORE, Nov. 12.-The frequent con-

ed. 1t Is understood here that these base ball
magnatos are DESTROYS OF breaking from the
old organizations and instituting new Tongue.
The Detroit Club will at the meeting on We'd

split will occur. The now League 1t is pro-

there is no talk or discussion as to the break
ing up of the old Leagues and Associations and
the formation of new or an Eastern League.
Any person having the slightest knowledge OF
current base ball matters would never have
taken the trouble to write out anv such mat
